Preface

The purpose of this work is twofold: to provide a rigorous mathematical foundationfor study of the probability distributions of observables in quantum statistical mechanics,and to apply the theory to examples of physical interest. Although the work willprimarily interest mathematicians and mathematical physicists, I believe that results ofpurely physical interest (and at least one rather surprising result) are here as well. Indeed,some (§9.5) have been applied (see [JKS]) to study a model of the effect of angularmomentum on the frequency distribution of the cosmic background radiation. It issomewhat incongruous that in the half century since the development of quantumstatistics, the questions of probability distributions in so probabilistic a theory have beenaddressed so seldom. Credit is due to the Soviet mathematician Y.A. Khinchin, whoseMathematical Foundations of Quantum Statistics was the first comprehensive work (tomy knowledge) to address the subject.

Chapters 7 and 8 are a digression into probability theory whose physical applicationsappear in Chapter 9. These chapters may be read independently for their probabilisticcontent. I have tried wherever possible to make the functional analytic and operatortheoretic content independent of the probabilistic content, to make it accessible to a largergroup of mathematicians (and hopefully physicists).

My thanks go to I.E. Segal, whose ideas initiated this work and whose work hasprovided many of the results needed to draw up the framework developed here. Mythanks go also to Thomas Orowan, who saw the input and revision of this manuscript,using TEX, from beginning to end; his work was invariably fast and reliable. Finally Iwould like to express my appreciation to the Laboratory for Computer Science at M.I.T.,on whose DEC 10 computer this manuscript was compiled, revised, and edited.

Introduction

§1.1 Purposes and Background

The most general mathematical description of an equilibrium quantum system is in itsdensity operator, which contains all information relevant to the probability distributionsof associated observables. Let be such a system, with Hamiltonian calculated in aI /reference frame with respect to which has zero mean linear and angular momentum.ILet be the inverse temperature of ( is temperature and is Boltzmann's� I~ ; ��

Our general purpose is to obtain probability distributions of observables in fromIspectral properties of . If has very dense point spectrum, distributions depend on it/ /only through an appropriate spectral measure; if the spectrum has a continuouscomponent then has infinite trace, so that the associated density operator and�c /�

probability distributions must again be defined via spectral measures. We will study howdistributions are determined by spectral measures and apply the resulting theory to the�(continuous spectrum) invariant relativistic Hamiltonian in Minkowski space and to the(discrete spectrum) invariant Hamiltonian in a spherical geometry (Einstein space), toderive probability distributions of certain important observables.

In some systems with continuous spectrum, a natural obtains through a net � ¸/ ¹� ���

of operators with pure point spectrum which in an appropriate sense approximates . In/order that subsequent conclusions be well-founded, it must be required that be�independent of the choice of within some class of physically appropriate or¸/ ¹ Á� ���

“natural” nets. For example, if is an elliptic operator on a non-compact Riemannian(manifold , a natural class arises in approximating by large compact manifolds. The4 4well-developed theory of spectral asymptotics of pseudodifferential operators is usefulhere (see, e.g., [H], [See]). The procedure of infinite volume limits has also been studiedand developed in Schrödinger theory (see [Si, Section C6]). In physical applications suchas to the Planck law for photons, this approximation procedure is appropriate sincedistributions must be localized spatially, as well as with respect to wave propagationvector.

In the systems we consider, many interesting observables are sums of independentones indexed by the spectrum of a (maximal) commuting set of observables. Thus incases of continuous and asymptotically continuous spectrum, the notion of sum ofindependent random variables is very naturally replaced by that of an integral (over the

Page 7: HFWXUH1RWHVLQ 0DWKHPDWLFV 0DUN$math.bu.edu/people/mkon/ptryfinal2.pdf · 2002-03-22 · In the systems we consider, ... The theory of such integrals and associated central limit

spectrum of observables), defined in a way completely analogous to the Riemann integral.The theory of such integrals and associated central limit theorems will be developed(Chapters 3-5), and then applied to particular random variables of interest.

A more comprehensive and abstract theory will be studied in Chapters 7-9. Theintegration procedure will be part of a more complete Lebesgue integration theory forrandom variable-valued functions. Connections will be made with the theory of randomdistributions and purely random fields [V,R1].

The related work in this area has been done primarily on , with Lebesgue measure.9�

General information on random distributions is contained in [GV]. Multi-dimensionalwhite noise was introduced in [Che], motivated by study of so-called Lévy Brownianmotion in [Lé]; the topic was further developed in [Mc]. A comprehensive theory ofgeneralized random fields was introduced by Malchan [M], using the notion ofbiorthogonality of random distributions on .9�

The non-linearity of the Lebesgue integral in Chapter 7 is not essential, since it isequivalent to an ordinary (linear) Lebesgue integral of a distribution-valued randomvariable field, and equivalently an integral over a space of logarithms of characteristicfunctions. Thus the integral is a simple and fundamental object. The probabilisticcontent is itself novel and (hopefully) interesting, and these chapters have been writtenlargely as a semi-autonomous part of the monograph. Probability and statisticalmechanics are re-joined in Chapter 9.

There are two physical implications of this work which warrant attention. The first isthat non-normally distributed observables (such as photon number) can arise in physicallyattainable situations, namely those in which spectral density is non-vanishing near zeroenergy; the latter occurs in systems which are approximately one-dimensional, forexample, in optic fibers or wave guides. The second is that within the class of models inwhich the density operator depends only on the Hamiltonian, the "blackbody spectrum'' ina large-scale equilibrium system of photons admits an energy density spectrum whichfollows a classical Planck law, whose specific form depends only on basic geometry.This work provides a rigorous basis for the study of blackbody radiation in general spatialgeometries, specifically the spherical geometry of Einstein space. This is a model of thephysical universe (see [Se2]), and is useful in mathematical physics, being a naturalspatially compact space-time which admits the action of the full conformal group.

Some of the results to be presented here are treated somewhat differently and in morespecific situations in an excellent foundational work by Khinchin [Kh], who treatsasymptotic distributions for photon systems in Minkowski space. The asymptoticspectrum of the Hamiltonian there is approximated to be concentrated on the integers;such a procedure suffices for consideration of energy observables for photons in threedimensional geometries, although it must be considered somewhat heuristic. It ishowever not adequate for treatment of more general situations (as will be seen here),since the very volatile dependence of distributions on spectral densities near 0 is notvisible in such an analysis. In general terms, however, the present work extends manyideas pioneered by Khinchin.

The reading of any chapter is perhaps best done in two stages, the first involving onlybrief inspections of technical aspects of proofs, and the second involving a more

thorough reading. Technicalities are often unavoidable in the proofs of theorems whosehypotheses are minimally technical.

We now provide a brief explanation of the structure of this monograph. Theremainder of this chapter provides a mathematical-physical framework. This includes adescription of Fock space, and a rigorous presentation of elementary results on quantumstatistical probability distributions. For example, we verify the common assumption thatoccupation numbers are independent random variables. Some of these results may befound (in somewhat less thorough form) in statistical physics texts. Chapter Twopresents some novel aspects of calculating distributions of observables (still in discretesituations), and presents fundamentals of the continuum limit. The basics of integrationtheory of random variable-valued functions are developed in Chapter 3. Chapters 4 and 5give applications to calculating observable distributions, including criteria for normalityand non-normality, and Chapter 6 provides physical applications. Here explicitdistributions are calculated, and a rigorous Planck law is derived for Bose and Fermiensembles. It is shown that the Planck laws are essentially independent of the intrinsicgeometry of large systems. Chapters 7 and 8 develop an analogous Lebesgue theory ofintegration, and Chapter 9 provides further applications, in the more general framework.

We dispose of a few technical preliminaries. Throughout this work (except in §9.5)we make the physical assumption that the chemical potential of particles underconsideration is 0; this does not involve essential loss of generality, as the general casecan be treated similarly. Probability distributions are studied for particles obeying Boseand Fermi statistics. The two situations are similar, and are studied in parallel. Theessentials of Segal's [Se3,4] formalism for free boson and fermion fields are usedthroughout and are described below.

§2.3 Formalism of Asymptotic Spectral Densities

In many situations in which a self-adjoint operator has large or asymptotically infinitespectral density, use of a spectral measure on the real line is necessary for interpretationof sums indexed by the spectrum, or mediating more detailed spectral information. Aclassical example occurs in Sturm-Liouville systems on , whose “natural” spectral´�ÁB³measures for eigenfunction expansions are defined in terms of limits of spectral densities

of their restrictions to intervals (see [GS]). In the study of sums such as , a� ~ �� �

similar situation occurs if the spectrum of is very dense or continuous, e.g., if ¸, ¹ ( (�

In suchcases, the appropriate probabilistic context for study of probability distributions incanonical ensembles involves integrals (rather than sums) of independent randomvariables with respect to appropriate spectral measures.

Integrals of Independent Random Variables

In the limit of continuous spectrum for a Hamiltonian , sums of r.v.'s indexed by the(spectrum, such as value functions of quantizations of observables commuting with , are(most profitably represented as integrals for both notational and conceptual reasons. Wenow develop a theory and properties of these to the extent that they are useful later.These results will be in a more natural probabilistic setting in Chapters 7 and 8, whereintegrals of r.v.-valued functions over a measure space will be studied.

As is clear from the standard central limit theorem, expectation of r.v.'s does not scaleunder independent sums in the same way as some other “linear” quantities, such asstandard deviation.

fail to exist in general under the current definition, we make one which is more useful.

§3.3 Distributions Under Symmetric Statistics

Given a spectral measure and a spectral -net , the operator with spectrum � � < <� � �(induces a canonical ensemble under the conditions outlined in Chapter 2. For a net ofoperators , (with a function on ) we now consider asymptotics of* ~ �²( ³ �� � lb

corresponding value functions ; applications will be deferred until later.��

Definition 3.11: Let denote the functions of on with two continuous. ,� lb

derivatives near , locally of bounded variation, such that is non-% ~ � O�²,³O²� b �³�, c�

increasing for sufficiently large. For , those non-trivial spectral measures which, � � .�

Chapter 4

Singular Central Limit Theorems, I

The integration theory of Chapter 3 deals with non-singular integrals in that, e.g.,

: ; �²? ³�� is finite. This section, from a probabilistic standpoint, is an illustration of

the singular theory for the family of geometric r.v.'s arising under symmetric statistics.The non-normality of these integrals, demonstrated in Chapter 5, is closely connected tothe "infrared catastrophe" of quantum electrodynamics.

The most convenient formulation (with a view toward applications) is in the languageof limits rather than integrals. By Theorem 3.14, we may assume that .�²�³ � �

Theasymptotic distribution of , though normal, has a new nature in that, after normalization��to standard variance and mean, is asymptotically dominated by occupation numbers��� ,� �� � whose spectral values are arbitrarily small. Normality is in fact not universal inthis situation, as will be seen later.

Note that in all “singular” sums of r.v.'s to be considered, leading asymptotics will��depend only on spectral behavior near the origin; parameters related to global spectraldensity will not contribute. We now consider a prototype.

Chapter 5

Singular Central Limit Theorems, II

This chapter deals with the most singular families of geometric r.v.'s arising under ourhypotheses, those from spectral measures with non-vanishing density near 0. Thesingularity of this situation fundamentally changes both the results and the proof of theassociated limit theorem. The normal distributions of integrals appearing in previouscases are now replaced by an extreme value distribution whose parameters are entirelydetermined by spectral density at 0. This will be shown in the prototypical case� ²,³ ~ �-²,³ ~ �,Á� and in general through an approach like that of Chapter 4. Theapproximately linear behavior of at 0 will be exploited to decompose into two-²,³ ��independent r.v.'s, to the first of which the prototypical case will apply, and to the secondTheorem 4.3.

The is that with d.f. . The normalized distribution,extreme value distribution �c�c%

with zero mean and unit variance, has d.f.

Chapter 6

Physical Applications

In this chapter we examine particle number and energy distributions in certaincanonical ensembles. The means of energy distributions provide generalized Plancklaws; the classical "blackbody curve" will be shown to apply in several situations.Normality of observables is however not guaranteed, and the extreme value distributionarises in one-dimensional systems.

To simplify the discussion, we consider only particles with chemical potential 0(whose energy of creation has infimum 0), e.g., photons and neutrinos. We study these inMinkowski space and Einstein space (a spatial compactification of Minkowski space; seeSegal [Se2]), two versions of reference space. The canonical relativistic single particleHamiltonian in its scalar approximation will be used in both cases.

We study Minkowski space ensembles in arbitrary dimension. The Hamiltonian iscontinuous, and a net of discrete approximations based on localization in space will beintroduced. Einstein space will be considered in its two- as well as its (physical) four-dimensional version. The approach in these cases can be used to establish photon numberand energy distributions in a large class of Riemannian geometries, once the relevantwave equations are solved.

§6.1 The Spectral Measure: An Example in Schrödinger Theory

§6.3 Observable Distributions in Minkowski Space

We now construct the canonical single particle Hilbert space for -dimensional� b �Minkowski space; the constructions on other spaces are made similarly. All particles willbe treated in scalar approximations, so fields will be approximated by scalar fields, andspins by spin 0. Distributions will be studied in the frame in which expected angular andlinear momentum vanishes.

Since asymptoticdensity is independent of , the divergence clearly arises from bosons with effectively�vanishing energy; this is an effect of Bose condensation, in which large numbers ofparticles appear in the lowest energy levels. The corresponding spatial energy density is,however, finite according to Theorem 6.7, which gives mean density

This divergent density of low-energy bosons with finite corresponding energy density hasan analog in the "infrared catastrophe" of quantum electrodynamics (see [BD], §17.10), inwhich an infinite number of "soft photons" with finite total energy is emitted by anelectrical current. The extreme density is correlated with the lack of normality in photonnumbers.

The energy distribution of bosons in a Minkowski -space canonical ensemble in� b �(6.25) is the “Planck law” for such a system. An observer of scalar photons measures theproportion of photon energy in the frequency interval to be´ Á b µ� � "��

Planck laws for Einstein 4-space coincide asymptotically with those in Minkowski space;this obviously also holds in one dimension.

Chapter 7

The Lebesgue Integral

In this chapter we introduce a natural and useful generalization of the notions inChapter 3. Lebesgue integration of r.v.-valued functions on a measure space is themaximal completion of Riemann integration. The step from Riemann to Lebesgueintegration shifts the focus from the domain to the range of the integrated function;indeed, the ordinary Lebesgue integral is a Riemann integral of the identity function onthe range space with respect to the domain-induced measure; this viewpoint will be usedhere.

The present integration theory is in fact interpretable as a formal extension of thetheory of semi-stable stochastic processes (see [La, BDK]), with an abstract measurespace replacing time. The r.v.-valued function being integrated yields an r.v.-valued?measure defined by integral of over ; this measure is clearly aC C²(³ ~ ? (generalized stochastic process. Indeed, in the notation of this chapter, if is a¸?²!³¹!�l

collection of independent standard normal r.v.'s, then is simply Brownian�

!�°�?²!³²�!³

motion.The advantage of the present approach to that of standard integrals of distribution-

valued random functions (e.g., “white noise” ) [Che,R1,V] is that it does not require theexistence of a metric (or smooth volume element) on the underlying measure space.Precisely, the present integration theory would, on a Riemannian manifold, be equivalentto (linear) integration of an r.v.-valued distribution with covariance

; � � L � � � � � $²?² ³?² ³³ ~ ²?² ³³ ² Á ³ ² � ³ À� � � � � �

(Here, denotes the point mass at in the variable ) However, an abstract measure� � �� �Á Àspace generally has no such object.

A novel aspect of the Lebesgue integral is the use of a non-linear volume element� �²� ³. This may seem rather ad hoc; but in Chapter 8 the Lebesgue integral is shown tobe isomorphic to a linear integral over functions with range in a space of logarithms ofcharacteristic functions.

Lebesgue integration is the natural environment for detailed study of integrals ofindependent random variables; however, aside from proof of associated fundamentalswhich will comprise most of this and the next chapter, the approach here will berelatively goal-and-applications oriented. Further on, the measure space will² Á Á ³$ 8 �be the spectrum of an abelian von Neumann algebra of quantum observables.

The material in the next three chapters will be largely independent of previousmaterial, and the probabilistic content stands on its own. The proofs may be omitted on afirst reading.

§7.1 Definitions and Probabilistic Background

We will often deal with normalized integrals (sums) of random variables with infinitevariance; the resulting limits will depend strongly on the tails of the integrateddistributions. We recall the bare essentials of general limit theorems for sums ofindependent random variables; see [GK] for details.

In order to formulate the most general central limit results, we define the Lévy-Khinchin transform of an infinitely divisible distribution. Recall every such distribution� ) � has characteristic function , where is continuous and vanishes at The~ � ! ~ �À�

Integrability Criteria and Some Applications

In the first half of this chapter , we introduce an important integrability criterion forrandom variable-valued functions (Theorem 1). We then compare the Lebesgue with theRiemann integral, and finally give applications to the calculation of asymptotic jointdistributions of commuting observables.

A central result shows the non-linear Lebesgue integral of Chapter 7 to becontinuously imbeddable into a standard Lebesgue integral over the space of0 4i i

measures on the Borel sets of , the space of probability distributions. Let be the space: 9of logarithms of ch.f.'s (log ch.f.'s) of infinitely divisible distributions. Let be1 ¢ ¦: 9the partially defined function , where . Let be1 ~ ²� c �³� ~� � � � �lim

We might again try to duplicate the elegance of the Lebesgue theory in the:Riemann integral, but we approach the latter with a view to utility, namely, to physicallymotivated applications. With this intent, we define the Riemann integral using globalpartitions of , rather than patching integrals over sets of finite measure whose range$under is bounded. The former definition will dovetail with that of the -integral.? 9i

Theorem 8.7: If is -Riemann integrable then it is -Lebesgue integrable, and the?² ³� � �integrals coincide.

Proof: Recall (7.21). We begin by assuming is finite and is -bounded. Let be� �? 7� �

an infinitesimal net of partitions of . Recall the Lebesgue integral may be equivalently$defined by allowing partitions of to subdivide individual elements, even ones of:measure 0.

Let be a -finite basic measure on , and be a metric on whose Borel sets � � $ � $ 8are just the -measurable sets (the existence of such metrics in applications will be shown�explicitly; the integral, if it exists, is independent of the metric used). Let be a -net¸ ¹$ ��

§9.5 Applications

An advantage of Einstein space over canonical spatially cut-off versions ofMinkowski space is its possession of the full conformal group of symmetries. Inparticular, the rotation group acts on Einstein space. Untractable (non trace-class)expressions involving generators of the conformal group in Minkowski space becometractable in Einstein space. For the purpose of evaluating joint distributions ofobservables Minkowski 4-space should be viewed as an infinite volume limit of Einsteinspace.

Theorem 9.11 allows evaluation of joint distributions in canonical ensembles (9.4),viewed as limits (according to a spectral measure ) of systems with discrete spectrum.�This section provides two explicit calculations.

Epilogue

I would like to leave the reader by briefly identifying two significant open questionswhich arise in the present context.

The first is, what asymptotic probability distributions arise in a system whosespectral measure fails to have three continuous derivatives near 0� � % �% ²� � �³� �

(Definition 3.11)? The failure to answer this question in Chapters 4 and 5 seemstechnical.

Second, how can these results be extended to a non-commutative setting (i.e., oneinvolving non-commuting observables)? It seems that gage spaces, the non-commutativeanalogs of probability spaces [Se6], are the appropriate framework. This question mayhave very significant mathematical ramifications.
